Liberty of the Seas, Thanksgiving week, booked side by side JS, for $2900 ea. in July, recently got a $1100 reduction on EACH room.

24 hours a day, 7 days a week

But those aren’t double points, those are standard points for each situation.

I have done both, but more often than not, it’s in my carry on.

We have taken this fan on every cruise for about 7-8 years, its awesome, and the clip is very strong, you can mount it anywhere and direct the air in an infinite number of ways. https://www.amazon.com/10000mAh-Battery-Operated-Portable-Stroller/dp/B08866RDYK/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=rechargeable+clip+fan&qid=1633185029&sr=8-7

Or they could have opted to operate at a 95% vaccinated level, that would have garnered more goodwill from a large percentage of cruisers.

A domestic flight is one thing, returning from international is another thing all together. Honestly, I don't know the answer, but it would concern me.

I think you got bad information, Trusted Traveler Status is not a substitute for a passport, or other ID

Thanks I need to be paying closer attention to my on board benefits

Surely you would agree however, that the cruise lines taking the lead on vaccination proof and testing, did not occur without outside pressure. I don’t see that pressure being applied to domestic airlines, it was proposed last month and summarily shot down at the federal level. I am in agreement with everything you have posted, and as a healthcare professional am completely in favor of a system like the EU system (AKA Schengen Visa), and I concur that the USA has woefully failed in doing what’s best for the country in this regard.

Hopefully you will be able to tell us in a couple days. My “re-check-in” is Oct 7, and I’d like to know how yours goes.

Good news is, in an environment where sunglasses are required, masks aren’t.

It’s really just public facing posturing, nothing more

I had no idea Royal Up was a 3rd party vendor.

Your initial bid would be inconsequential to the bidding process. What you or anyone else paid is money already in the “bank”, all that matters now is how much more money can be put in the bank in the form of upgrade bids. From a simple math and finances standpoint, all parties bidding for an upgrade are on the same footing.

The third dose has nothing to do with a “fully vaccinated” status. The policy states you must have final dose of your vaccine 14 days prior to embarkation. This would equate to second dose of Moderna or Pfizer or first dose of J&J. Receiving a booster shot does not change your status.

Curiosity has gotten to me: what Grande Suite benefits are you saying are available to you at the Diamond level?

No question about it.

I got 2 price drops on my upcoming LOTS trip. The first one, my TA just sent me an email with a new invoice (prior to final payment) reflecting new price and a note saying there was a price adjustment. The second (after final payment) I noticed a lower price when I was booking dining package (I always do a quick mock booking anytime I am logged on the site), shot me TA a quick email, and 45 minutes later the OBC showed up in my cruise planner.

Yes

I am booked with a group rate for Liberty this November, i received a price drop OBC last week; I emailed my TA and it was easily handled.

Thats exciting, have never used their product, but it is a good looking ship, just did a couple mock bookings, seems a little pricey, but I guess it is what it is when you are booking the newest and shiniest.

This is how internet rumors get started. There are zero indications that Royal (or any of the other players) would be cancelling cruises. From a health and safety standpoint, the restart has been, for the most part, a resounding success.

I really do not see a lack of communications. It is pretty black and white on the website, if cruising from a North American port, you must be vaccinated if over 12, and have an antigen or PCR test no older than 2 days upon boarding.

The company that does the proctoring is not licensed to do business outside of the US, even if you got the tests.
